It’s just going through the various stages, and each stage has said ‘no’. I expect the same of the MI Supreme Court. Cboldt just suggested she could go the 6th circuit and the Scotus. I suppose she could, but I don’t see her getting a different answer regarding Michigan law. And Michigan law, especially in her case of 1% of the vote, makes absolutely perfect sense. Why should MI get stuck paying millions just because Stein is snorting LSD...or is certifiably nutso?
Just to be clear, I see all those options as purely academic. No higher court is going to touch this case. She's done. It's hard for me to imagine a case that runs out of academic and pointless arguments, and that's all she had from the start. The lower courts and appellate courts have humored her (and a couple of partisan courts even gave her what she asked for), but at this point, even her partisan compatriots have told her she's lost.
